| The Kingdom |
Wild. In order to create the most incredible thing, you need to create an incredible thing and this production does just that. Inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen story of the same name the choreography is inventive, with some balletic trace prints of Balanchine’s Apollo and Nijinska's, Les Noces. The ensemble sequences in the kingdom with mirrors, see-through gauzes, cut-out pieces and profiles is particularly fine and expressive; showing a cohesion between choreography and design. The second act acid-trip is less successful as the dancers appear diminutive against the filmed sequences in Leo's incredible clock invention. But there's wit and chill aplenty as in all good fairy-tales. A visual feast: bold, extravagant driven by an hypnotic, pulsing Pet Shop Boys score.....
